Message indicates "Sending email" but no emails are produced

Reports which were generated and successfully emailed from Dimensions may still be seem to be sent but no actual emails are sent.

This can happen if MAPI is being used in Dimensions (which requires Outlook) and a recent Office upgrade has replaced a 32-bit version of Office with a 64-bit version. In this case, when emailing a report from within Dimensions it may show a message saying Sending email but no emails are generated.

To determine your current setting:

  1. Click System, Security, User Records (Ribbon) or System Control, Users, User Records (Classic)

  2. Select the User

  3. Click Records, Options

  4. If E-mail Setup is showing MAPI then the user is using MAPI/Outlook


To determine if Outlook is 32 or 64-bit:

  3. Click About Outlook. The information about whether it is 32/64-bit appears at the end of the top line
